Immortality

always,,,

I Know That I Have Always Been,,,
I Just Can't Remember When,,,
But I Remember Floating In Outer Space,,,
Long Before,,,I Came To This Place,,,

On A Thousand Planets,,,
I've Lived A Thousand Lives,,,
And I Always Watch Everything,,,
Around Me,,,Fade Away And Die,,,
And I Always Move On,,,
After A Thousand Goodbyes,,,

I Grow Tired Of This Existence,,,
Where I Can Never Die,,,
As I Move Ever Closer,,,
To The End Of Time,,,

Thank you Cannaballester

What would immortality mean to you?
Living forever in a dying world?
Doing things you wouldn't have time for?
Or watching all of life's tragedies unfurl?

What would life mean to you,
If everything was said and done,
Watching loved ones fall like flies,
While counting your thousandth setting sun?

What would eternity mean to you,
If you were left alone?
Punishment or blessing could this be called?
In loneliness would you forever moan.

Wishing for a death that never came,
Wishing for the end of a wish came true,
Sorrow after sorrow, you witness in time,
Hardening your heart to ice so blue.

Continue to standby and watch,
As mortals destroy themselves,
And reminisce that once upon a time,
That you were one of them.

One that was able to feel,
The pain, the anger, the sorrow,
The happiness, the love, the trust,
But you now must reap what you have sowed.

"Black"


The wallpaper is curling 'round the curls,
the lamp-shades are fossilised moth wings
fluttering through the wind and bone.

Skeletal trees lay slain on crumbling earth
and the hawks' nests enmesh graves of worms
pulverizing every last murmer of life.

When all has been taken with the last breeze
and death its very self has died
what could claim immortality? What is there
after nothing but the colour that absorbs everything.

You said, immortality meant never dying,
But now I know that you were lying.
As everyone fades away,
we have to always stay
and never can we sway,
but my heart has gone astray.

You told me we will see,
who's free and who will never be.
Who was it, that never knew?
Was it us, was it me and you?

As times change and the world rotates,
and everyone we love leaves this place,
we stay together, live our lie.
And all along we hope, that someday we will die.

Thank you Mr A and gorryone810 for your submissions

Immortality isn't living:
The Best in my World

Dear M. and B.,
     I am sorry that I was unable to be there for you. I wished that so many years had not gone by between us seeing eachother. I always tried to. Did you know that? I was always wanting to see you guys. Always trying to plan holidays so that you could come visit. But, my family was always moving. Always on the go. I hated that. Last I saw you was when I was 14. Now, I am 21. Just turned. I am sorry I was not a good grand-neice. If that is even a word. Haha. You are family though so I know you won't care. It doesn't matter who reads this, because It is strictly meant for you, my family. When I heard about you having Luekemia B, I was devastated. I didn't think that people just developed it. How? Am I misunderstood? Is it that you only just now found out? I guess in a way you could give hope for others. And M, when I found out you had pancreatic cancer just 3 months after M passed in her sleep, I thought, "What is going on. How could this be happening??!" I blamed God, I begged with God, I pleaded. But no, I was unable to get through to him I think. You passed only two weeks after I found out about you having the cancer. I was heartbroken. You an M were my favourite pair. There was noone else like you guys. I am always regretting not being able to see you guys before you left us. I hear that My grandma was there for you both though. Speaking of her, I just thought I would let you know that she is doing fine. She misses you guys, and  I can tell she is devastated, but she also knows that you guys are in a better place. I think that is what is helping her through this. She's a true trooper. Anyways I just wanted to tell you guys that I love you, always, and I miss you like crazy. Tell my grandfathers hi for me too? And stay as happy as you guys have always been.
 
 
I Love You Guys Always
Your loving grand-neice,
K.D.H.

Fractured






Another broken conscience.
Disgruntled. Effectively forgotten.
God's hidden idea.
Justly, Kelpie lingers.
Maliciously now onlooking.
Patient quandries revolving.
Silently testing. Undermining.
Vitaly. Wielding xysters.
Yearning zen.
Again, bearing cruelty.
Disturbingly. Efficiently feigning.
Given here lustfully.
Malignant nuisances overbearing.
Pleading. Quaking reluctantly.
Stealing thoughts. Undesired.
Vulgarity within xenophobia.
Yeilding zealously.
